Good morning all. Yesterday was not as productive as I had planned. Got one long shelf loaded with Edd's elephants the. Got called to Mom's because her cable went out. Spent over an hour there getting it back up and running. AT&T had to do a remote software upgrade on her modem. Then my gf called and wanted us to join her for dinner. She is pretty lonely with her husband in the nursing home and I think she just needed to see us. My other gf and her husband joined us. They chose Osaka, a hibachi grill. It was tasty and entertaining and not too bad calorie wise. So I did not get my sewing done. I only work 3 hours today so will be able to sew before I go and hopefully finish the shelves when I get home. I don't work again until Wednesday so no real rush other than I just want it all back together. I only have 45 feet of shelving to finish, lol
Diane, I think I may have to rejoin WW. I don't seem to do well without the structure and I definitely need a plan to follow that is flexible and not overly restrictive. I am going to check the website and see when and where the meetings are. I need to make a connection with the leader or I don't do well some reason. Thanks for sharing the recipe, wish I liked cooked spinach, lol. I love it raw though.
Karla, every room in my house has looked like your pictures at one time. It is a dirty and back breaking job and I am glad we did it when we were young. The only time we called for extra help was putting up the ceiling drywall as our walls are 10ft and putting in the upstairs bath. Edd and I did everything else ourselves. I am sure you will find a pretty outfit from your Dad, how sweet of him to think of it.
Bert, do be careful with the fasciitis as over use will make it worse. I worry about steroid injections as they do not heal, only mask the pain. Plus with your blood sugar issues steroids should always be used with caution. Have you talked to a sports medicine Dr or therapist about using the K tape? I have heard it can do wonders if applied correctly. I think I told this before, but a PT told me once the best thing for it is to wear supportive shoes 24/7. The best I could do was not go barefoot or wear flip flops for about 6 months and only took my shoes off at night. It did make a huge difference.
Cindy, I hope you are enjoying this weekend crud free and writing.
Janet, any concerts coming up for you soon? I wish I had a concert buddy here in town, we have two awesome venues, the Shuster and The Victorial Theater. For now I live vicariously thru you.
Off to be productive and make today a day of great choices.

Patti if you decide to
Rejoin WW let me know. I can send you a referral link that gets both of us a free month.0 -
Patti- the shots are better than suffering the excruciating pain. I wear inserts andvsupportive shoes. I don’t have diabetes to worry about, but it was a podiatrist that recommended it. I suffered for almost a year before I succumb to it.

Good Morning, Ladies. I'm up early this morning as I fell asleep early last night. We went to Greg's game yesterday. They played well and he coached them well, too. He got on them early in the game and told them they were asleep and needed to get it together. (you could hear him!
) After that, they played well. Mike and I watched the Colts game last night, and now they are headed to Kansas City. The Bears play this afternoon, so it's a go Bears day!
Eating was pretty good yesterday. I logged it all in. I'm also watching cholesterol and I'm doing well with that according to MFP. We ate Chinese last night, so I'll need to drink more water today.
Patti: I also do better when I wear shoes all day. I walked in the neighborhood yesterday and was afraid I would make it worse. Mike and I went to Academy of Sports yesterday. He wanted to get bag gloves for his gym and I found a roller massager. I used it last night and it seemed to help a little. I do have exercises that my foot doctor gave me, so I'm going to start that up again. I purchased some slippers that have memory foam in them as well. I have stayed with WW online for a year. I need to be more focused. I also do better having a structure to log in points and acutally see what I'm eating. I also like the MFP food diary as it shows me the nutritional aspect of my food. We can do this!
Karla: What kind of inserts/supportive shoes do you wear? I have inserts for my tennis shoes that were molded to my feet. I got them when I bougth my Brooks tennis shoes. I've been looking at Protalus inserts.
Waving hi to Diane, Janet, and Cindy. Have a great day, everyone!

Welcome to this gorgeous Sunday. I did a lot of little chores before and after work. Still need to finish the shelves today. food choices were ones I am proud of. planning to repeat that today.
Diane, thanks for the invite to join WW. I think it was just the push i needed. I spent yesterday finding every reason in the book to no rejoin. I am sure we all know what that list looks like. I am going to go to meetings Wednesdays at 10am. I am hoping the leader has improved since I last attended her meetings.
now to add exercise. My trainer for trx won't be back until spring. I think I will go to beginners TRX on Monday nites and try a new class, core strength and bands, tuesday and Thursday nites. I also plan to start going to the Friday morning No Barre class, it has replaced the Pilates I loved. So it looks like an all new line up to start my new year, new me.
Bert, those foot rollers are really good for the fascitis. Those Protalus inserts look like a good thing to try. Wish there was something that would work for my feet but they just don't make anything for flat feet. The Kurus have decreased the amount of time my feet hurt in the morning, for that I am grateful.
waving hi to all

Hello all. Sitting down to lunch after church and house cleaning this morning. I don't yet know what the afternoon will bring.
My sister and I spent yesterday working on mom's kitchen. Even for a small apartment, she had so much stuff! I want to start working on clearing out our stuff, because I don't want to face this kind of thing or make anyone else face it. At the same time, I want to keep some things that bring memories. This was the first time my sister had been there since right after mom died, so it was emotional for her. I guess I am kind of over the emotion of facing her things in her apartment, at least.
Patti, I am with you on needing a boot in the behind. I am so happy that I found a leader who I can connect with. AND she has three or four meeting times a week that I can choose from. I lost 60 pounds before just doing online, but this time I need that weekly encouragement to get back on track. The Christmas weight seems to be starting to go away. And I am tracking everything, which seems to be key for me though I hate having to do it.
Bert, I applaud you for tracking in both WW and MFP. I'm sure I might make better choices if I were tracking my nutrition too, but I so hate doing it that there is no way I am doing it twice! My sister in WI suffers from terrible Plantar Faciitis too. Since her flood, she has been wearing shoes all the time (since the floor inside was such a disaster) and she said it has made a huge difference. My podiatrist gave me a list of which shoes to wear, and had me go to a running store to get fitted. He even sells (at a very reasonable cost) flip flops that are supportive. He said the WORST thing for PF is soft, cushy shoes. You really want firm support.
Cindy, I saw your blog on Jasper. What a miracle pup indeed! So glad he continues to improve. I know you said before you were waiting until the holidays were over to think through some big changes. Feel free to use us as a sounding board.
Karla, how is the kitchen coming? Was yesterday cabinet day? The before and after pictures look so familiar - was that plaster and lath I spied in one of the shots? What a mess to take down that can be!
Janet, what plans do you have for the week ahead? Can you believe how busy we all seem to be, even when no longer working?
Diane

Patti: I might order the Protalus inserts. I have inserts that were made for me at the running store when I bought my Brooks tennis shoes. However I’d like to have inserts for my other shoes. The roller did help a little. I just finished walking in the neighborhood as the weather is beautiful, so I’ll probably use the roller again. Thanks for the Christmas card. It’s very pretty.
Diane: Would you share the brands that your podiatrist recommends? Also the flip flops? I didn’t wear them last summer except when I took Molly out. I wear Schechers in the spring and summer.
My walk was great! I walked 37 minutes at a really good pace.
Tonight’s dinner is Fat Head pizza dough with basil pesto, turkey sausage, turkey pepperoni, and provolone cheese. Very low carb.
Dan, Annie, Dylan, and Penny will be landing in Chicago pretty soon. They visited Annie’s family in Florida this past week.
Have a great evening everyone.

Hi All,
I am still dealing with the bronchitis and slowly getting better. I worked Wed-Friday and yesterday after doing son house cleaning did nothing else.
Just taking a break from the new book I'm writing- I've committed to 1800 words per day do I need to write Sat and today's to stay on track.
Meg really enjoyed her job and found an apartment in Galloway - just 20 minutes from the office. I'll be in Columbus for a quick biz trip next week-
Everyone sounds like their committing to new projects and new food ideas. I followed the new plan for the first three days- wow I was hungry despite eating every couple of hours. The weekend I've allowed myself Chinese for dinner last night but today eating clean again-
Just not as often.
Enjoying the peace at home as Rick is out and about today. I'm pushing him hard to go to the dr-
Patti- I owe you a connection with Brad in Ohio, I'll work on that this week.
Karla- the kitchen is looking good
Diane- I agree that cleaning out our homes is a kind thing to do - just in case.
Bert- A walk in the neighborhood sounds nice
Janet- how are things?
Need to get back to the book.
Have a great day.
Cindy0 -
So glad to be back home. It was an exhausting week and both Glenn and I are back to work tomorrow. I know my dad really appreciates what we did for him but he really doesn’t show it and does not utter the words “thank you”. Kay, my neighbor that has been letting my dogs out and I were just talking, she said her mother was the same way. Never thanked her for anything. Just their era, or way. My mother wasn’t like this.
Cindy- So glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better. Sounds like status quo with Rick. It appears to me he is hiding or delaying the prognosis of his new normal.
Tomorrow I am joining you all on our 2019 choice and choose mantra/ theme. I am choosing to track on MFP and do the low carb and medium protein this time. I’m not going to go crazy with it. I thought about the Keto plan, but just don’t have time to learn it more deeply.
I will weigh in the morning and document that and take my measurements. My body always reacts quickly to clean eating. My feet are in good shape, so I want to start tomorrow with 30 minutes on the treadmill also.
Do we want to start stating weekly goals?
OMG: track daily and 30 minutes daily on treadmill.

Good Morning, Ladies. Well, the Bears are out of the playoffs.....it was a nailbiting game!
At least the Colts are still in it.....I guess I'll cheer for them. I really only watch football if the Bears are playing. I'm pretty sure the field goal kicker will be looking for a new job! Tonight we are taking down the church Christmas decorations. It always looks beautiful in the church during advent.....
Today, my choice is going to the gym for some cardio and strength training. I'm also going low carb today. I've already tracked on MFP; Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles, one egg, and Premier low carb shake. My cholesterol alotment on MFP is nearly used up; however, carbs look great. So I'll have a salad for lunch and will prep veggies this morning. I'll also track on WW which will be a 4 point breakfast.
This week's goal is to stay within MFP calories and WW points.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning ladies and welcome to my accountability to trimming off the holiday fluff and more!!
I have weighed and entered it into MFP and tracked all my food for today!! I have go measure when I get dressed and enter those stats.
Here are my stats:
Calories: 888
Carbs: 39
Protein: 89
I had my egg white omelet this morning and am having a light lunch. I am back to the Dannon light and lively yogurt, cheese whisps, babybel light and turkey pepperoni for snacks. Oh, that reminds me, I didn't track the cheese whisps, that will add a few calories, yeaa!! I am picking up Chick Fil A side salad with grilled nuggets for my dinner. The Alabama Clemson game is tonight and my brother Kevin is bringing pizza and mudslides and I have to reframe!! I am picking up fried chicken wings for he and Glenn. I can survive!!
I am off to pay some bills and then get ready for work,
I'll check back later on. I feel so in conrol. Hopping on the treadmill and watch tv nex!!

Does this look okay to you Bert?

Hello all. I like going back to our roots and stating our mini-goals. I just know I have to state an achievable goal! This week, my OMG is to track everything on WW, and do my PT exercises five times.
Karla, my mom is the exact opposite - thanked me for everything I did for her. So maybe it is a regional generational thing? Certainly for men of that era, accepting help was hard, and so even as they age, acknowledging that help goes against the grain. My BIL, who is just about 7 years older than me, said it like this: "I'm used to being the one helping, not the one accepting help. It's hard for me to take that help, but thank you from the bottom of my heart." And he said it when he was driving us somewhere, I think so he didn't have to look at us and choke up as he said it.
Bert, do you use the turkey sausage or the pork ones? I've tried turkey and chicken sausage, and I just don't care for it. I'd rather go without, or splurge on the "real" stuff.
Cindy, hope you feel better soon! Carrie has been sick since just after Thanksgiving. I'm sure it WAS bronchitis and is probably now pneumonia, but she is totally resistant to seeing doctors. You said Meg *enjoyED* her job - was that a typo, or is she looking for different work? I hope not - she has been through enough in the past year.
Patti I am not rejoining the gym. It is hard enough for me to commit to doing the exercises I am supposed to do for PT - I think I would just waste my money on the gym membership right now.
Janet, you are being quiet - I hope that is just because you are disconnecting from social media for some down time. Pet Theo and Bella for me.
Today we are going to do the one Christmas exchange we need to do - just getting around to that! Then I am going to sew a bit. I have a couple of things I need to get done in the next two weeks.

Diane: I use the Turkey pepperoni. I’m not fond of it either, but I eat it.
Karla: I just can’t manage 1000 calories for me. I’m already at 45 carbs and have only tracked breakfast and lunch. Lunch is a salad with veggies and ham for protein. I do eat the light Greek yogurt and will have that as a snack. At least my points will be on target for WW. I’ll have the Keto pizza I made yesterday for dinner tonight.
Janet: I’m missing your posts. Hope everything is ok.
Patti: glad work is slowing down for you. Good luck with your renovation.
Cindy: it was good to read your post. It’s important to have a “me” day every once in awhile.
Bert0 -
Diane My dad did tell me to go buy me some clothes or whatever I wanted. That was his way of thanking me for being the go-fer. My mother was 7 years younger than he. I know he appreciates it, it is probably what you say, he doesn't like having to have anyone do for him. Another thing about my father, he doesn't like to part with money. LOL. Although he won't even be spending half of the insurance money on his repairs. That part that really burns me is because it was hard on Glenn on his week off, and last week of college football and not where Glenn wanted to be. It would be one thing if my father didn't have insurance on his house or was low income. My dad has plenty of money in the back AND got paid handsomely for his repairs. He is from he depression years and is as cheap as anyone can be. EXCEPT, if I is something HE wants. He will pay high dollar for a gun or knife he wants for his collection. Used to really upset my mother. I'm glad you like the Mini Goal roots too!
Anyway, I have walked the treadmill and watched Seal Team while doing it, documented my measurements and now getting ready for work.

My mini goal for the week is to track it all. This is my Achilles heel and I know I have to do it to lose.
Karla, I think you know how much your dad appreciates all you and Glenn are doing. I am very fortunate that my mom thanks me for every little and big thing I do. My dad was the same when I helped care for him after all of his surgeries and illnesses. Maybe your dad is still processing all the disruption and will thank you both once it is all back to rights.
Bert, I wish I had your resolve to track but, like Diane, doubt that doing it in both places will happen for me. Wil be lucky to get it done on the WW app, lol.
Diane, did you get the email that I joined and that your free month will be credited soon? I miss the gym terribly. I miss my trainers and my work out crew so will be happy to go back. At $40 per year and $2.25 per class I can't afford to not go. I have not been since the week before thanksgiving and my body is not happy with me.
I am taking my daughter to a long overdo dinner tomorrow at Cheddars. They have some very delicious WW friendly options. Afterward I am taking her to Costco. She has never been and the restaurant is in their parking lot. I have a few things I want to get there so it will all work out. My girlfriend's husband is coming home from the nursing home on Wednesday and then returns to OSU for 2 days of chemo on Friday. They will put her up in a hotel overnight while he stays in observation. Praying it goes as well as the last time.
Need to get my groceries and prep for the week. Anxious to get my materials from WW on Wednesday at my first WI and meeting. Everyone in my world is doing some plan or another so the timing is perfect for me to jump back in.
Today I choose positivity as my word of the day.

Hi, everyone - have read all, just wanted to top in and say a quick hello before I head out to library and a few other errands.
Eating is up and down for me - I have to be careful on choices and portion sizes, but within the way I need to eat not to draw attention to be different - for the time being, it's the right option for me. My big task this week is reining in the snack monster. And I'm hoping to try my new sous vide stick my niece gave me for Christmas - she says it makes great, juicy poultry and meats.
Big hugs to everyone!0 -
Hello all.
Day one going well.
Patti- It bothers my brother Keith more than anyone. My mothe pure despised my father sometimes over being so cheap. Lol.
Janet- My heart breaks for you afraid to eat the way you want in your own house. Are you certain James really cares that much about your eating habits?
Stopping for the wings and my grilled nuggets.
Roll Tide tonight!! Going to be a tough game.
Karla0 -
Checking in - I met my goal for today of tracking everything, even the mini peanut butter cups I succumbed to at Trader Joe's! Still fewer points than yesterday, so I am happy. I did my exercises at PT today, so a check in that box too.
Tomorrow will be an Elise day - Yay! I will do my exercises while I wait for her to wake up in the morning. I ran errands all day today - exchanged the daypack John got me for Christmas for one that I like better (I hadn't given him good specs, and he freely admitted he figured it would need to be exchanged), got fitted for and ordered new glasses, did the grocery shopping, picked up some needed notions at Joann's, and picked up an order at Kohl's. This morning I cut out three more car seat blankets for babies due to be born in the next two months. Maybe if Elise naps tomorrow I can get started on them.0 -
Good day here too. Got a rotisserie chicken and went to make enchilada sauce, after I had already mixed up enchilada filling, only to discover I had no tomato sauce or paste or juice or anything plain tomato in a can or in the freezer. Well guess what, if you add enough paprika,chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin, garlic and onion powder and just a touch of worchestershire sauce and lime juice to basic spaghetti sauce you have enchilada sauce that is quite tasty and we both loved. Totally filling 7 point dinner when you add cheddar cheese.
Diane, thanks again for the push. I found several very low point frozen meals for when I don't have time to plan or just want something super quick. Healthy Choice bowls are my faves. Enjoy your Elise and sewing day.
Janet, I do get your dilemma. Do what you feel comfortable with and enjoy your time with James. It's all about living and enjoying life.
Patti0 -
Hi, again - there were several posts ahead of mine that just caught up to my feed. Weird.
Wish I could recommit fully, but yes, James doesn’t like it if I make myself something different, so I am doing what I can, considering - mostly passing on carb-heavy things. Not drawing attention to it is the best move for now.
Karla, you and Glenn have done right by your dad and Kerry. Wish they’d say thanks but they’re probably still in shock from the storm. And it’s hard for them to know what to say. You sure got a lot done pretty quickly! Hope you can both chill a bit now.
Cindy, hope you feel much better soon. The Jasper post was so sweet - that face!
Patti, smart nurse-chat to Bert. Steroids can mess with blood sugar. Your gym is a serious bargain! Nice improvisation on the sauce!
Bert, hope your plantar fasciitis backs off soon. Worked with a woman who had it, and she’s an avid runner.
Diane, enjoy your Elise day!0 -
Good morning. Wow, my team got it’s butt kicked last night. Clemson made no errors and took the victory. We both went to bed in the third quarter.
Janet- You have to do what you must dear. People that havent had a weight problem just don’t get it and James probably loves you the way you are and doesn’t think you need to diet. I’m sure you haven’t gained much, if any, of your great weight loss back anyway. I just don’t like any sort of stress on you at all!
Bert- I ended up having 1188 calories once I finalized my food diary, carbs went down to only 21 and protein went up to 129. I didn’t get my salad like I wanted and ate more protein in meat. I’m going to get my carbs up to 40 today. I don’t want my hair thinning again!
Diane- I have a Mermaid blanket to make for Izzy. It’s the super plush, velvety feeling type of fleece. Good for you for tracking and doing your PT!!!! We are all on it in our own way.
Patti- Congrats on rejoining WW, I hope the leader is what you need her to be, it is the comradeship of the other ladies that will make it worth it as they are usually crowded this time of year. Good conversion on your sauce.
I better get a move on, paying some bills and just had my egg white omelet. Hitting the treadmill again and then off to work. It’s a short day today as I pick my sweet Izzy up for dance! I sure have missed her.
Have a great day.

Good Morning, Ladies. Today is hair cut day, and then I'm picking up Jillian and Cole from school this afternoon. We will then travel to attend Greg's game. It's at the high school where Mike and my neice teaches. We are going to meet her and her son for dinner and then will go to the game. I'm not sure if Mike is going or not as he will work early in the morning. I know the kids are excited to go. I'm not looking forward to driving home in the dark, but oh well, it will be fun.
Eating was good yesterday. I went to the gym. My feet did pretty well yesterday as I wore my tennis shoes most of the day and did my feet exercises before I left. Breakfast, lunch, and snack is tracked.
Janet: I hear your dilemma. Mike doesn't eat the way I do, so I just either limit my portions when I do cook one meal, or I simply make two meals. The good thing is that is doesnt bother him or me. I need to do what works for me. Hang in there, girl!
Diane: Enjoy your Elise day! It is so much fun to be with grandchildren. Could you state the brands of shoes that your podiatrist recommends?
Patti: What kind of Healthy Choice meals do you like best? I stayed within calories and WW points yesterday for which I'm happy. Carbs, proteins, and cholesterol were all good.
Karla: Congratulations on your Day 1 going well.
Waving hi to Cindy. Have a great day, everyone!

Hello all. Elise is napping and I might lie down too. I have not been sleeping well at all.
I did take her to WI at WW this morning, and only stayed for ten minutes of the meeting because she was fussing to move around. One hint I learned that is new is WW has partnered with Headspace and Aaptiv. The first is a motivational meditation app, and the second is an exercise app. I’ll need to explore them more fully.
I was down 3 of the 5 holiday pounds today. I knew last week was up because of bloat and salt. But it also shows what even a week of clean eating can do!
Bert, I pronate, and my podiatrist recommends Brook Ariel and Saucony Redeemer. I have tried both and they both work for me. There are others but I don’t have the list anymore.
Karla sorry about your team. I didn’t watch the game. We have good friends whose son goes to Clemson, so they were happy. You and Glenn and the rest of the crew accomplished a lot in a week.
Patti, too funny about the enchilada sauce. I had the exact same problem last week making a Mexican dish that called for tomato sauce and used some marinara sauce too!
Janet, you have to do what works for you. You don’t have to make excuses to us.
Cindy, 1800 words a day! Wow!0 -
My darling Izzy, back to dance. I love her to the moon and back.

Day 2 on track and tracked it all. Homemade tacos at Mom's then dinner at Cheddars with my daughter, lemon pepper chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots. The online tracker said the chicken was 6 pts but that included rice, which I did not have. Anyway, calling it a successful day of choices. The temp was in the 60s so I took mom to get a haircut. She was long overdue. We had a long talk about her current situation with her sight issues. I mostly wanted to reassure her that I would not force her into any move as long as she was safe in her current apartment. Then it was so nice to just sit and chat with Susie. Nothing earth shattering, just two friends catching up. We are getting to a much easier place in our relationship. She has been taking CBD oil capsules from the health food store for her arthritis and has noticed a huge improvement. The side benefits are probably bigger than just the pain control. She has suffered from depression and insomnia since childhood and the oil has made a huge impact on both. She said her thoughts are calmer too. She started doing Keto on Sunday and seems to have a great attitude. She said she changed her mindset by not focusing on losing, eating less, NOT having certain foods. All of those are negative. So when she stepped on the scale and it was down 3 pounds she changed it to "I gained" 3 pounds of freedom. Her goal is to find a positive way to look at everything. I told her about our "choose/choice" mindset and she is going to add that to her mindset.
Karla, I bet Izzy was glad to have you back. I hope your dad will soon settle into the changes in his home. It is so hard on them to have their routines disrupted.
Diane, I briefly checked Aaptiv and it seems to be an audio stream of exercises. I am going to try one in the morning.
Bert, safe travels. Being with the kids is worth the driving. Congrats on sticking to your. Tracking and exercise.
Hi to Janet and Cindy

Good evening. I am really tired this evening. I believe the 7 days out of town, running from 7a until 9p every night has finally caught up with me. My father told me today how lucky he was to have me in his life. It felt good.
I went to Shoe Station after dropping Izzy off at dance and picked up a new pair of supportive tennis shoes. I read where the Asics Gel Kahana G is highly rated for Plantar's Fascitis as well as Heel Spurs. I tried them on and they are a dream in the suportive way the inside feels. The soles are very thick and high in the back, and they are atractive also.
I don't know if the walking on the treadmill has flaired it back up or me not taking the Gabapentin the last few days. I picked up my prescription for it today, although I already had some I could have been taking. This is what the Orthopaedic doctor gave me.
Patti - Congrats on two good days also and tracking. Knowledge is power. Sounds like a great day with your Mom and Daughter.
Diane - I hope you were able to lie down and get some rest along with Elise. I need some down time myself. I've been on the run too long and it's starting to catch up with me. Glenn just told me to go relax.
Bert - Prayers for your safe night time travel.
I'm off to chill out on the couch before putting Izzy's uniform in the dryer,
Goodnight all, may we all continue on this path of choosing what is good for our body, mind and soul.
My today's stats:
Calories: 1056

Good morning, me again.
Egg white omelet eaten, my day is tracked. My stats are tracked to be:
calories 1115
carbs: 41
Protein: 104
Of course I will tweak it for exactly what I ate if any different after dinner. Tonight I am making the Slaw Crack, also known as egg roll without the roll to the Keto community.
I am off to wake Izzy and get dressed myself.
Can' wait to experience my new tennis shoes. They were not too pricey, bu well worth it.

Good Morning, Ladies. We had a good time at the game and also visiting with our niece and family. We ate at Pizza Hut. I ate a big salad and a couple of small pieces of pizza. Jillian was "on a roll" last night. She kept pushing my buttons, so I had to "lay down the law". It's usually Cole; however, last night it was Jillian. Greg's team won. Driving home was a challenge. Mike did a great job driving. We saw several deer, but at least saw them ahead of us, so we could avoid them. He got us all home safely. It was nice to visit with our niece. She teaches at the school where the game was. We got to visit her classroom and see what she does. It was a great evening.
Today is my appointment with my knee doctor. I haven't seen him in 3 years, so I thought I would find out if things are the same as they were 3 years ago.
So far today, I've tracked the following: (breakfast, lunch, and snacks)
Calories: 535
Carbs: 55 (that's my problem: I'll probably make a different choice as the Wheat Thins have 22 carbs: I need something cruncy with my salad)
Protein: 67
Cholesterol: 95 (that's pretty good! I'm alotted 300 on MFP)
WW Points: 11
Karla: I wear Brooks tennis shoes and Clark's shoes. They are very supportive, but I want insoles for my Clark's shoes. I'm still debating on what brand to purchase. I'm also going to ask my doctor today what he recommends.
Patti: Congratulations for Susie. I really like the Fathead Pizza dough which is very low carb; however, higher in WW points. Annie sent me the recipe. You can find it on ditchthecarbs.com
Waving hi to Janet, Dianne, and Cindy. Have a great day, everyone!

Accountability and choice check in. It is freezing cold and there are flurries, I didn't sleep well and my head is a little stuffy. None of these are good enough reasons to miss my first meeting. My choice is to WI, today and going forward, with my shoes on. I always found it humiliating, degrading, unsanitary and an enormous waste of time and dignity to take my shoes off just so my number on the scale will be lower. I did, however weigh in the buff and then fully clothed and shod. Difference is 4 pounds. I choose to continue with shoes unless I need to take them off to reach goal, lol. I will get an automatic loss when we switch from tennis shoes to flip flops, I may need the boost by then.
Choice is power!
I choose to be a WW
